Reps Members Are ‘corrupt Grandchildren’ Of ‘corrupt’ Obasanjo – CACOL by fernandezcocky: 4:09pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
A civil society group, the Coalition
Against Corrupt Leaders, CACOL, has
stated that it is hypocritical for former
President, Olusegun Obasanjo, to
label any government, institutions,
agencies, individuals as corrupt in
view of the unresolved and lingering
suspected acts of corruption
perpetrated by the former leader.
Obasanjo had while delivering a
public lecture on Wednesday, stated
that the “National Assembly stinks
and stinks to high heavens. It needs
to be purged,” adding that the
parliament operates a cabal “worse
than any cabal that anybody may find
anywhere in our national governance
system at any time.”
The House of Representatives
responded yesterday by stating that
Obasanjo has no moral authority to
talk about corruption, accusing him
of being the grandfather of
corruption in the country, who
introduced corruption to the National
Assembly on its first day in 1999.
But CACOL, in a statement issued by
its Media Coordinator, Wale Salami,
alleged that both the former
president and the lawmakers are
culpable in the scourge of corruption
that is plaguing the country, adding
that the legislators have by their
statement admitted being corrupt
grandchildren of a corrupt
grandfather.
The CACOL Executive Chairman, Mr.
Debo Adeniran, was quoted as
saying: “to put it aptly, former
President, Olusegun Obasanjo’s anti-
corruption stance is pure hypocrisy
and akin to ‘the kettle, calling the pot
black’. We can say this even at the risk
of sounding ‘supportive’ of the
gluttonous legislators who have
frankly admitted as reported in the
media to being ‘corrupt grandchildren
of a corrupt grandfather’; both sides
of the divide are indeed culpable in
the infestation of corruption in the
fabrics of our society. They are two
sides of the same coin, actually!”
“We recall how all efforts to get
Obasanjo to answer to allegations of
corrupt practices over the Halliburton
and Siemens Scandal against him
were met with consciously and
tactically placed obstacles that have
shielded the former President from
judicial and public scrutiny of his
roles in the saga till date.” |
